Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 312

Chapter 312 -Three Hundred Twelve: Public Execution

Outside the S City base, the zombie tide had been completely eradicated, and the guard squad members along with the staff were busy handling and destroying the scattered zombie corpses on the ground.

Lin Cheng walked back from outside alone, and the necessary procedures of registration and waiting at the entrance were unavoidable. He patiently stood aside and watched the guard squad members inspecting each zombie corpse, or more accurately, searching for Crystal Cores.

“Uncle Lin? I thought you just drove out, didn’t you?”

Liang Jiuqing, seeing Lin Cheng leaning to the side, asked in surprise.

She remembered that just a moment ago Lin Cheng had driven out of the base alone; they had even chatted for a bit and indeed, there was no one else in the car but him.

“I wanted to take a drive, but the car broke down halfway, so I walked back alone,”

...

Lin Cheng said with a cheerful smile, feeling quite good about himself as if he had accomplished something significant.

“Oh, I see. Well, you wait here for a bit longer, I have to go get busy,”

Liang Jiuqing, seeing someone calling her from not too far, didn’t continue chatting with Lin Cheng.

As she walked, Liang Jiuqing couldn’t help but wonder, could such a new car also break down?

However, she soon reasoned that perhaps Uncle Lin might have encountered some fierce zombies while on his drive.

His family in the villa had been waiting for Lin Cheng to return, and it was only when they heard he had safely sent people off that they were relieved.

Xia Mufei’s rescue had been successful, half thanks to his own resistance; he had been bitten by a zombie but didn’t turn immediately, though there was still a chance he could mutate after death. However, Su Jin and Lin Tianhui had firmly pulled him back from the brink of death.

It took almost an entire night for the two of them to save Xia Mufei, and Xia Ying, who did what she promised, immediately wanted to take Xia Mufei and leave the base. But because the base’s zombie tide wasn’t fully cleared until the next evening, they couldn’t leave the gate and thus stayed in the basement for a day.

Su Jin also explained to Xia Ying that the anti-inflammatory they used on Xia Mufei and previously in the water for the base’s injured was the same. However, this anti-inflammatory was obtained by chance, was limited in quantity, and could only act as a supplement.

Xia Ying expressed understanding, considering that during the zombie tide, indeed, there were many who drank that water but had not been saved.

Guo Yang and others also learned about Xia Ying and Xia Mufei’s situation the next day, but they thought that Xia Mufei had just been slightly scratched, similar to Chen Hai and others who hadn’t mutated before, and were lucky enough to survive.

Xia Ying also firmly did not mention this matter, as he always kept his promises.

During this period, Xia Mufei just slept, but his gradually rosy complexion showed signs of improvement.

Su Jin used her Wood element ability to adjust his body again before she felt reassured.

If it hadn’t been Xia Mufei, she would definitely not have gone to rescue him—only because in her previous life, Xia Mufei had been devoured by zombies while trying to save her. That’s why she decisively decided to save him when she saw Xia Mufei severely injured and unconscious.

According to Nie Qing, the karma between her and Xia Mufei had thus been settled…

Only after the zombies outside the base were completely dealt with did Xia Ying prepare to leave the base with the still-sleeping Xia Mufei. Before leaving, Su Jin gave them an SUV from the garage.

Otherwise, in the apocalypse, taking with him Xia Mufei, who they had barely managed to save, would be extremely unsafe.

“Thank you all,”

Xia Ying said sincerely.
